Sri Lankan$
All-you-can-eat Sri Lankan awaits in stainless-steel bains-marie at Maalu Maalu, from colourful curries (meaty, vegetarian, vegan) to rice to sambols galore. The buffet is $15 at happy hour, 3pm to 5pm on Thursdays and Fridays, and hoppers are an extra $3 on Saturday nights.
There aren't many rules here but there is a recommendation. 'Don't go too hard on your first lap,' we're told by a kind soul who's seen too many troops fill themselves on gently spiced lentils, saffron rice and curried beans, meaning they can't make it back for the redolent chicken curry or cabbage stir-fry.
Most dishes are crowd-pleasingly mild, but you can amp up the flavours with sambals and condiments. There's live music in the evenings; lunches are pretty cruisy.

'She opened up my life': Fiona Shaw makes rare comments about wife
Fiona Shaw says she met her wife, Dr. Sonali Deraniyagala, at a time when she "might have been closing down my life". The Harry Potter and Killing Eve actress, 66, has been married to the Sri Lankan memoirist and economist since 2018, and in a rare comment about her other half, Fiona shared how the couple first met and how she has transformed her life. Speaking to Jessie and Lennie Ware on their Table Manners podcast, she said: "I met her in New York more than 10 years ago. I was doing Testament of Mary on Broadway, and I met her. She's a fascinating person, because I'm now introduced to a whole world of Sri Lanka, which has really opened up my life at the very moment that I might have been closing down my life. It's been great." Fiona previously described her spouse as an "unusual" person. After suffering a devastating tragedy, when Sonali lost all of her family in the terrible 2004 tsunami, Fiona admitted her relationship helped her "understand the value of things". She told Good Housekeeping magazine in 2020: "I'm married to a very unusual person, but maybe it took a very unusual person to be willing to marry me. Sonali's children, parents and husband were all killed in the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, and I'm very cognisant of that. Its sorrow doesn't dominate our life, but it definitely defines it. I understand the value of things by being with Sonali. She lives knowing that at any moment the world could end because she lost her world. It has brought me into land, I suppose, about lots of things; a lack of arbitrariness about life." Table Manners is released weekly. Listen now via
